Slough Feg is getting Twilight of the Idols, Down Among the Deadmen and Traveller reissued as a CD box set and is working on a new album that will be released by the label.

Is it just me or has the quality of bands signing to Metal Blade drastically shot up in the last few years? Not that even the majority of their bands are good, but it isn't just tons of metalcore bands now._________________https://www.facebook.com/sethbennettillustration - Artwork and graphic design

Here's hoping this union of non-trend, insider insighted, once-great label hoo-ha gets Slough Feg out onto the road and into the grander halls, where poon and champagne cruise the velvet, rushing on sound.

Pretty sure it has more to do with Nemtheanga working there than trend conspiracies.

Those are mutually exclusive explanations?

Comparing the relative weight of each does not equate to claiming that the existence of one negates the other, so no. Obviously the decision for MB to work with Nemtheanga from an A&R standpoint can be construed as part of a trend, but that is an indirect relation. MB trying to work with the trends on their owns brings up shit like White Whizzer or whatever they're called. Alan has directly been the one bringing in these new bands like Portrait, In Solitude, Assaulter, and his own band, Blood Revolt. MB affords him the opportunity to do so because they realize it's good for business.

Anybody pick the box set up yet? Does it have all 3 CDs in separate cases each with their own booklets or is it a Roadrunner "From the Vault" deal where it's a 3cd case with a 1 sheet booklet with pixelated art?
